About how much do you pay for your electricity, cable, and phone, water every month? Trying to get an estimate. Preferably for a 3 bedroom home. Also I have a new volkswagen that needs full coverage.

Appreciate any advice

For a 2k sq bed house i pay 130 in summer and 70ish in winter for electric/AC usage. Gas (water heater) is about 20 and water 20 (we are on septic so if you're on sewer it may be higher). Verizon fios i pay 154 a month for cable with extra channels and higher tier internet.

Coverage really depends on the company. We have 2 VWs with full coverage, state farm quoted us 500 a month with renters insurance, usaa we are paying 275 with renters.

Thats just the way it is down here in florida. In Nebraska i was paying 125 for both cars full coverage and neither of us have tickets or accidents.. I'm not bashing progressive geico or all those other discount companies, but USAA and state farm's customer service really cant be beat, in my eyes anyway. Even if they were 40 dollars cheaper a month, i probably would not switch from USAA.

insurance for 2 cars is 145? holy crap.. we pay more than double for our 2 cars.

in the winter we pay about 60-70 for electric, in the sumer up to 180 or so (we keep our house around 74)

Car insurance is around 350 for full coverage on 2 cars

I have free cable/internet so thats nothing

water is about 50 bucks every month

IT all depends where you live, Clearwater water bill much higher,,, for fam of 5 we paid about $160 a mo.. I posted last mo insurance hikes and ended up with the "General" for auto ins at $120 a mo full coverage for '05 toyota..Electric for a fam of 5 was $300 a mo,, with progress energy. So location, septic and how you run your air/ pool will make a big diff. For budget reasons I dropped my internet cable to 1 and only pay $20 amo, BH, w basic -very basic cable $20 more n do nextflix
